Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Hey there @Faith-and-Hope

I've seen the emails coming through but have been avoiding everything. My daughter isn't doing so well, it's been hard. I think we now have an eating disorder on top of the bipolar and anxiety.

I'm not coping so well but still functioning.

Thanks for asking about me... two steps forward, one step back... right???

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Two steps forward and one step back is still a forward motion, as @lapses often says .....

.Sorry to hear you’re on a major uphill struggle. If it is and eating disorder, try to get to that quickly. If you have doctors already on board for everything else medical that’s going on, hopefully they will jump all over this one sooner rather than later .....

Thanks for letting us know what’s happening for you ..... easier to hold you in the light when we know what the pressing needs are .... and please try to take good care of yourself in the mix .... even if it’s just to stop for a cuppa, as @Shaz51 often says ....

Good morning @Bunniekins and everyone. Having my cuppa in quiet trying to wake my 15 and 18 year olds 🙂

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope the eating (or lack of it) has really crept up. She is loosing weight even though she is already underweight 😞

@YTT Hi YTT we haven't propertly met but do you have a daughter who doesnt eat because I have a daughter who is morbidly obese.
